In reply to the discussion: Regarding the two NY cops, let me get this entirely straight... [View all]marym625

In each case of an unarmed, murdered civilian, the victim has been accused by cops of writing their own death sentence. No one is ever responsible except the victim, cops do no wrong. While here the murderer is known and now, unarmed, unknown, completely innocent, hundreds of thousands of people trying to change the fact that cops have no responsibility and face no consequences for their actions, are blamed.
To blame the protesters and protests for the death of these two, murdered cops, makes as much sense as blaming the cops and the system for not holding cops responsible for their actions.
Your argument plays into the hands of the oligarchy and is senseless.

Unless you have evidence the shooter was part of this group, your post is dishonest.
